Serebii.net has some scans from the new CoroCoro showing off some stuff of Black 2 and White 2.

Hitmonlee should've been retconned as Dragon/Fighting.
Anyway, why is Poison weak to Psychic? And Ghost to Dark?

And that guy's apparently lying through his teeth, since the Serebii scans show clearly that it's set in Unova again and the player characters are the same ones from Black and White.

From the sounds of it, the Unova Dex alone is bigger than the total amount of Pokemon you can catch in Black and White. Still bitter about how ridiculously limited its post-game is.

I'm playing a Nuzlocke Challenge on FireRed right now. If you don't know what that is - bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nuzlocke_ChallengeIt can be pretty freaking soul killing. I lost my first try because I walked into Surge completely unprepared and wiped out my whole team and didn't have backup. And don't even get me started on what happened in Lavender Tower this run. It also makes you use Pokemon you wouldn't normally use. The band of misfits, and what have you.

Although I was usually 2 steps ahead of everything whenever I played the games, so this sounds interesting enough to try. I wonder with what game I should first try this out on? Also, which optional rules did you use, if any? Oh, and I'm reading the Nuzlocke comic right now. Good stuff.

I'm pretty noob at the challenge so I'm just going with the base rules right now. I've officially given the heck up on bird pokemon after losing my Pidgeotto and my Dodrio in quick succession. The Pidgeotto was particularly brutal. :\ FireRed/LeafGreen are good ones to start with. I tried doing one on just plain Blue once, but I find I can't become as attached to Pokemon when they don't have genders, and attachment is the whole part of the challenge. It really makes you value the ones you can catch, even if one is a freaking HORSEA. Let me tell you, you don't know hell until you have to grind a Horsea.

Funny, when I was younger I unintentionally used to do some of these rules with my games. I could proudly state back then, for example, of never using Potions or any items like that. I simply grinded and used PokeCenters. It made sense to me, because, PokeCenters did the same thing as the Potions but were free. So why bother wasting your money on that stuff? Admittedly, I nearly got my ass handed to me a few times because of this. Sounds fun though. I think I'm going to give this a whirl sometime soon.

I never used Potions either unless I absolutely HAD to. Like if I'm in deep of a route and need one of my Pokemon to be healed but I'm no where near close to a Center and backtracking to the last one would just be a waste of time. I might try it on LeafGreen, but I really don't feel like starting a new game just to try something that I know for a FACT is going to piss me off. So I think I'll try it on Ruby/Sapphire, seeing as how I never properly played or got into Generation III.

So I'm trying a Nuzlocke Challenge myself in Sapphire, and it DOES suck when one of your Pokemon faints. Way before I even got to Roxanne, I lost Ziggy (Zigzagoon) and Smokey (Poochyena). Both to freaking Taillow (CRITICAL HIT!), one in the wild and one from a trainer, and then ironically I caught my own Taillow (Starwing) soon after. I beat Roxanne and my current team is Blue (Mudkip, 15), June (Beautifly, 14), Starwing (13), and Thrash (Whismur, 13).
I'm actually enjoying this.

Yeah, I'm doing my own too, on Diamond and oh man, I'm stressing because of something like that happening. I have my four Poke and I haven't gotten to the first gym yet but I've been grinding even more than I usually do. Got my starter up to 15 and the rest are at 10. I got a bad feeling about the gym though...

Speaking of gyms, I really hope Black & White 2 finally have a f***ing Dark gym. It seems to be something that they're intentionally avoiding.

So yeah, I hate the ever loving f*** out of the design for the male trainer in Black & White 2.
So, for the first time since they've given us the choice to choose between playing as a male or female trainer, I'll be a female trainer, just because her design doesn't make me want to rip my eyes out of my skull.

I don't really mind it myself. Still, I'll most likely use the girl - have in Crystal, FireRed, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and Black. Used the boy in SoulSilver and White, though.

I'm kinda the opposite here. I played every single on as female,and i am considering playing as the male this time because i liked the design more

June has fallen to May's Wailmer. ;__; Considering how long I had her compared to the first 2 that I lost in the very beginning, I felt pretty bummed out when it happened. This Nuzlocke Challenge really does stay truthful to the bond between the trainer and their Pokemon.
Current team: Blue (Marshtomp, 21), Thrash (Loudred, 20), Dashie (Gulpin, 20), Five (Zubat, 20), and Starwing (Taillow, 20). I'm going to try to make June's replacement a good one!

Had a recent craving for the Pokemon games recently after not bothering with them since Ruby and not really paying attention since. Just defeated Red on Soul Silver, Houndoom + nasty plot + flamethrower = instakill. On to my third badge on Pearl, I'm enjoying it so far. Do you guys think I should wait for some sort of update for Black + White before buying it next? The impression I seem to get is it is a somewhat disappointing edition.
